Ce livre parcourt soixante années de la scène britannique contemporaine des années 50 à nos jours. Il témoigne de la richesse du théâtre britannique actuel à partir d'une sélection de créations essentiellement basée sur expérience de spectatrice de l'auteur. Il interroge le rapport du théâtre au réel qu'il s'agisse d'une expérience vécue, d'un témoignage documentaire, d'un fait divers ou politique.Il questionne aussi l'impact personnel d'une telle expérience. A partir de propositions artistiques très diverses se dessine une critique acerbe du monde contemporain : évocation et analyse de la violence de notre époque, des mutations sociales et morales, des crises qui ébranlent nos convictions et nos règles de vie. Cet ouvrage est aussi le résultat de rencontres et de contacts émouvants avec des acteurs majeurs de la scène britannique comme Max Stafford-Clark, Caryl Churchill, David Greig...Il prouve l'émergence de la dynamique actuelle du théâtre anglo-saxon qui rêve de figurer "l'état de la nation" et s'impose en proposant de possibles ouvertures aux minorités présentes dans le pays et à une jeunesse revendicatrice particulièrement active. Ce livre souhaite porter un nouveau regard sur une Angleterre et une Ecosse très éloignées et pourtant si proches

Authenticity is one of the major values of our time. It is visible everywhere, from clothing to food to self-help books. While it is such a prevalent phenomenon, it is also very evasive. This study analyses the 'culture of authenticity' as it relates to theatre and establishes a theoretical framework for analysis. Daniel Schulz argues that authenticity is sought out and marked by the individual and springs from a culture that is perceived as inherently fake and lacking depth. The study examines three types of performances that exemplify this structure of feeling: intimate theatre seen in Forced Entertainment productions such as Quizoola! (1996, 2015), as well as one-on-one performances, such as Oentroerend Goed's Internal (2009); immersive theatres as illustrated by Punchdrunk's shows The Masque of the Red Death (2007) and The Drowned Man (2013) which provide a visceral, sensate understanding for audiences. It is specifically the value of the document that lends such performances their truth-value and consequently their authenticity. The study analyses how the success of these disparate categories of performance can be explained through a common concern with notions of truth and authenticity. It argues that this hunger for authentic, unmediated experience is characteristic of a structure of feeling that has superseded postmodernism and that actively seeks to resignify artistic and cultural practices of the everyday.--publisher.
